Napoleon
Was Napoleon unironically a genius?
>total nobody at 25, no royal connections, little wealth. (Italy was a backwater shithole similar to Louisiana)
>became the most promising Politician just 10 years later with nothing but his charisma
>created the most gigantic mass movement in human history from scratch. (Democratic Bonapartism)
>created an entire ideology from scratch. (Democratic Bonapartism)
>got rid of hunger and unemployment
>gave a defeated and demoralised people their faith and confidence back
>told the French they're the best people in the world in a time when they were considered a joke
>literally risked his own life in French Revolutionary Wars for his nation
>whenever he spoke the crowd became fucking ecstatic, almost like under a spell
>conquered all of Europe and almost Russia
>conquered more territory than Caesar or Alexander in a ridiculously short time
>withstood the entire planet for 12 years
>still lost due to betrayal by Marmount and Talleyrand
>went down fighting till the last second, didn't even consider surrendering until the last second.
>Was charismatic enough to avoid execution unlike Mussolini.

Seriously, was he even a human? There must have been demonic possession involved or aliens or some shit because there is no way that 1 person can achieve so fucking much in a single lifetime and have such a titanic willpower

Son of aristocrats who got him into elite French military academies. He was a full fledged officer before he was even 18

I didn't know my history so I didn't know Waterloo was a loss so watching the old movie was amazing but bittersweet

Low level corsican aristocrats, which is to say barely above people who bought nobility titles. Also before going to mainland France he tried to throw in his lot with italian revolutionaries trying to take Corsica back from France (which was highly disputed in those years), who failed miserably, so he was lucky enough to not get killed then.
And most rich/noble kids got sent to military schools, so he wouldn't have been anywhere near the highest profile kids among his peers. Sure, he was a relatively silver-spoon-ish kid who was destined for a cushy career as a mid/high ranking military officer, but that's a long shot from being the fucking emperor of Europe.

Didn't read because you're retarded. He was literally an officer before 18, that doesn't happen to "a complete nobody".
